[QUOTE="Les in Wyoming, post: 2062473, member: 115820"] Welcome to my world. This is the obsession and frustration of reloading. My load for 7mm-08 is 46.5 of IMR 4350 under 140 gr Sierra. My Rem 7 is not very accurate. It actually shoots Hornady Superformance ammo better than my reloads. But it used to shoot better. My load might not be matched or my seating depth might not be right. You might try different seating depths with your load. Find where the bullet hits the rifle lands. This is “jam”. Then go back in .010 increments until it closes in. The tune it by .003 increments. When you find 2 or 3 increments that group, go with the closer one (longest oal) and bump it up .001 to give you some play room. Seating depth is everything. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
